text:
Eachtra Bhodaigh an Chóta Lachtna is the title of an Early Modern Irish Fenian tale. The bodach is a trickster figure, consort or male analogue of the cailleach ("hag"), already known from Old Irish sources, but this early modern tale is the only source of his identification with Manannán. In the tale the Fianna is challenged to foot-race by one "Ironbones, son of the king of Thessaly. The race is to be from Benn Étair to Munster. Caílte mac Rónáin, the best runner of the Fianna, is away at Tara
